A SAS-Oriented Approach
Redaktion: Verbeke, Geert; Molenberghs, Geert

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The SAS routines on mixed models have applications in many areas of statistics, especially biostatistics, but the procedures are not well- documented. Based on short courses given by the authors, this book provides practical guidance for SAS users.
